I feel that you’ve severely misrepresented or misunderstood why people don’t show up to things. Assuming that they’re just addicted to instagram or whatever is such a crappy take.

Most adults are tired. They’re under paid, over worked, over stressed, and just plain worn down. The weight of a world designed to crush them has done its job very well.

People don’t show up because they’re depressed and stuck in a hole they don’t know how to get out of.

Source: I live in the real world. Also, I too run book clubs and shit and have seen people struggle to stay engaged.

These posters should be illegal.

3 mostly solved this, it was way more reasonable. 2 was a great game with fantastic voice acting that was really diminished by the character models.

Same.

It’s frustrating that a small number of really good franchises are locked into the Nintendo bullshit business model.

Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda, Mario, and a couple of other series running on Steam Deck without the emulation nonsense would make me tremendously happy.

I feel attacked by some of the popular narrative here. I’ve been using em dashes for years and I don’t want to stop, but now that’s “AI” suddenly.

Well, there was the inclusion of the Brave and Yandex indexes which ruffled some feathers for sure, but I personally lost faith in Vlad as decent human when they outright refused to add a widget linking to suicide prevention resources to searches regarding suicide because they would introduce “moral bias”.

Adding a widget for suicide prevention hotline on top of ‘how to kill yourself’ result would be manifestation of one such bias - in this case moral - meaning, human interference into search results for moral reasons.

The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year.

From the company that brings you the same fucking game year over year, with paid dlc to get the same maps from old games again.

Is this like… real? Seems like it’s coming out of left field.

Same. Questionable leadership but a very solid platform.

Yeah, that’s the one.

It’s good that someone finally invented a way to move cars around. Can’t think of any other way you’d get them from point a to point b.

This entire thread is giving me the “oh come on”s.

Also adults.

I’m not sure how dangerous that is. They’re not coupling that warning with any other data, so all you know is that a social already exists in that system. I don’t see a way from the screenshot to gather more info around the social.

I guess if you already knew someone’s social you could query to see if they’re in the system?

Seems like they’re trying to be helpful by telling you that you already have an account, but even if this turns out to be completely safe I still wouldn’t have provided that warning just in case. “Something happened please call us” seems wiser.

Woosh?

Fair point.

Is it the fallacy fallacy?

“I should treat this safely” is not “there is a bullet in this I’d better not fuck around”. Framing matters.

Disagree. Every firearm I’ve ever handled has been loaded.

Sure, sometimes I’m wrong, but even a hint of “well it might not be loaded” seems like a dangerous slippery slope.

Your username is very apt lol
